Nice! Adapter plates are pretty easy in the end, especially if they are just flat plate.There is also this post. Not a CAD file but it does have the numbers to plug into your own CAD file.

First post here. Just want to share a short video I just made between Nissan Leaf motor and Suzuki Samurai/Sidekick clutch friction disc. There is a bit too much play in my opinion. You can check it out for yourself: https://youtu.be/rNISAE1mXzM
It does look pretty loose. For comparison, someone should check the fit on a Samurai /Sidekick transmission input shaft.First post here.

A clutch disk needs to float on the transmission input shaft. Rotational play is undesirable, but it needs to slide along the shaft easily.Just want to share a short video I just made between Nissan Leaf motor and Suzuki Samurai/Sidekick clutch friction disc.

I'll email you sometime today from my business account.I recently paid a gear and spline engineer to reverse engineer splines for the 2nd Gen Leaf motor. In other words; I currently have possession of precision spline data documentation for the Nissan Leaf motor power output shaft. We can do a group thing and / or you guys could place me in contact with a gear and spline engineering shop that comes highly recommended. Feel free to PM me as well.

Let me say it like this....I tried a FIAT twin cam 124/125/132/131 clutch plate on the leaf output shaft and it also has too much play. When the FIAT clutch plate is on the FIAT gearbox input shaft it is a snug fit with no decernable play.
Let me say it like this....
I put a clutch plate spline into lovejoy coupler with a shrink fit. When coupler cooled down i was barely able to knock splines onto the shaft. Also i had to use the puller to remove it later. Shrink fit contracted splines somewhat so i now get a tight fit whereas there was some play before.
Yes I had to machine the coupler in a lathe. That was a long and tiresome procedure. Had to triple check dimensions.What size/type of Lovejoy coupling did you use? You can shrink a part like this by welding multiple, continues circles on the outside of the part. Your method would probably be better as it is easier to do with less cleanup machining needed. Also, less chance of annealing and warping the part.
Did you have to do some machining to get the shrink fit?
You can probably get away with using a Lovejoy coupling if your transmission input shaft is well supported by bearings inside the transmission like this: https://youtu.be/9cINT3KH5s0?t=430
Many front engine, rear wheel drive transmissions, where the input shaft is not well supported, would be quickly destroyed if a coupling like the Lovejoy type were used without some kind of pilot bearing or sleeve supporting and aligning the end of the shaft.
Some kind of pilot sleeve supporting the pilot bearing end of the input shaft might still be needed in your build for it to work properly. This is because the coupling may generate some side load on the shaft, and is quite a distance from the first support bearing. This is called an excess overhanging load.
